Roozendaal" Hello folks, if you don't mind to get a servant of chaos, toy may shorten your way by pickpocketing the priests in the temple of the druids. Stop when you get a mace. This way I got a defender (2. quest of the duke) and a dragonscale armor (3.quest of the duke). Drowning is prevented by a potion/spell of breathing or dto. levitating. Also being mounted helps. The way of receiving magic benefits i.e. from tabs, wafers, potions etc. while wearing them on a finger (1. get them i.t. Air, then exchange with the finger) has sideeffects due to variable-size. When strengthen yourself with repeated exchange of stimtabs, you may receive easy more then 130 in strength. After that your maximum load gets larger then 32k and will become negative. When going on, to get it positive again, CON (the first val) went negative (more then 128?). So keep an eye to your status lines. The Hit and run technique described a few days earlier works fine for the eater of magic, but failed yet with the lawbringer. Execept for one try, the cave was flooded with mirroshades, and a Nazgul stoped me soon after entering (even while my speed was 5). So bringing a staff of sleep to the lawbringers cave might be a good thing. Get youre items identified before you sell them to the thieves. The <>70 AU will be soon back into your pockets. Bye Gunnar
